This thread from a couple of weeks ago (specifically for kbin users) attempted to answer the same question. ‘Kbinauts’ seems to be the favourite but personally I think ‘Kbinners’ (‘KTrashcans’ for the yanks) best.

DarkViperAU made a pretty decent series about a particular version of what you describe: reacters

With the endless ethical and legal issues around GenAI, I would very much hope that Valve continues being cautious (even if it’s evidently just to cover their own arses). Once we have models and datasets for AI generated game assets that are trained from entirely ethical sources (artist permissions, licences, etc.) and not just the “scrape everything and train our models from that” approach that is currently used, then maybe it could be a good thing for games. Even still, the generated assets will likely have no copyright (as is the case now), so we’ll surely end up at “AI generated content flip games” flooding Steam.

ooo lovely. 1, 4 and 6 are my favourites.
you should do a “kbinaut” style one but with the bird in a bin for the “kbinners” : D

Upon my 3rd or 4th pass through of Life Is Strange, I triggered an action that I had no idea was possible. Surprised? Yes. Shocked? Very.

Since Brandon Sanderson’s Secret Project #3 came out on Saturday morning (Yumi and the Nightmare Painter) that’s what I’m reading for the next week.

Probably Life is Strange. It did a lot for me in my mid-late 20s.

Congrats! My partner is currently waiting to get tested for ADHD after realising at the age of 34 that maybe she has it and it’s not just other problems or incompetence.

I do believe that Mastodon supports Elasticsearch/Opensearch OOTB, so you’re not wrong on NoSQLs being fediverse compatible.
Personally I haven’t looked into the kbin stack so I can’t give an opinion as to why psql is used over X.

i’m currently in that “need to change fonts” phase again across all my editors and this is now my top choice

I use RSS feeds (via Newsblur) for most of the news, and Twitter because I still follow too many journos there.

It’s very cute! But flocks of cockatoos are deafening and I’m sure someone could read into that somehow 😅

100% because the tankie thing.
A long-time believer of “you can’t separate art from the artist”.

The most hours I’ve ever put into a game (that wasn’t WoW pre-Cata) is 99 (Persona 5). My brain just can’t (or won’t) comprehend playing something for x-hundred/thousand hours even if I really enjoy it.

I, like many of the other replies, feel quite the same. Although I think the highlight of this for me is just how less aggressive and how much more receptive and open to discussion people have been. tbf i still mostly lurk but I’ve commented more here in a few days than I have in the final few years I was on reddit.

“Shit the beedddd”
Ben death noise when fucking up IRL

binners/kbinners are my favourites by far

…seek towards creating healthier and way less toxic communities anyways

this is the main thing I want from a “reddit alternative”, but since all the kbins/lemmys are being treated as “reddit alternatives” I really don’t see this happening

creating magazines (and other subreddit analogues) with poor “humour” titles like those “X-masterrace” ones.
